How Manchester United will win the Premier League title

5. They have the priceless ability to score late goals
No team turn a defeat into a draw or draw into a victory in the dying stages
as often as United. From Steve Bruce’s headers against Sheffield Wednesday
in 1993, to Federico Macheda’s injury-time winner against Aston
Villa in 2009, United’s title charges have been dominated by late
strikes. Giggs repeated the trick at Norwich
in February, but while Valencia’s 80th-minute strike against Blackburn was
early by United’s standards, its impact was just as crucial.
